A plumb line is a builder's tool used to align a builder's project. Similarly, God's plumb line is a tool that aligns our thinking with the character of God and the ways of God, positioning us to discern the will of God. This Spirit-guided way of thinking is what the apostle Paul called "the renewing of the mind" (Romans 12:2) and "the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16). Our lives are transformed as the Spirit teaches us the things of God that Jesus taught, moving us beyond the way the world trained us to think and live. God's plumb line is a tool that, under the guidance of the Spirit, helps us think with the mind of Christ and, thereby, to discern the will of God.

A Plumb Line Measurement of God's Glory Illuminated in the Feasts, Offerings, Tabernacle by John T. Staples Pdf
This book describes the mystery of the Glorious Gospel of light illuminated in Old Testament truths. It is lled with types, shadows, patterns and numbers that reveal Jerusalem, which is above to the believer. That heavenly city speaks of the blood bought church, the redeemed. She is presented blameless by faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. A study of the Feasts of Jehovah reveals the blueprint of redemption in Christ freely given in these seven divine appointments set by God. The book also gives a detailed analysis of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. It describes the spiritual order of God's house. The house, a believer's spirit, soul and body was the original dwelling place of God. The Five Great Offerings in the Torah reveal details of the Majesty and Glory of God. He alone has immortality and dwells in a light that no man can approach. Such dignity has been protected by God through the ages. However, by his in nite mercy and grace he has destroyed all that kept us separated from him in the sacri ce of his son on an old rugged cross. A revelation of the death, burial and resurrection of JESUS to our spirit by the Holy Spirit covers our nakedness. It clothes us with a garment of Beauty and Glory as we feast on the scripture found in the Torah. These truths are a plumb line, perfect and complete. They contain the patterns, shadows and forms that describe the spiritual protocol and order of entering the presence of a Holy God. Measure your inheritance with the saints in light and soak in the anointing that is upon the enriched Word of God. To God be the Glory forever.
People are leaving the church J.D. Greear pastors. Big givers. Key volunteers. Some of his best leaders and friends. And that’s exactly how he wants it to be. When Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, he revealed that the key for reaching the world with the gospel is found in sending, not gathering. Though many churches focus time and energy on attracting people and counting numbers, the real mission of the church isn’t how many people you can gather. It’s about training up disciples and then sending them out. The true measure of success for a church should be its sending capacity, not its seating capacity. But there is a cost to this. To see ministry multiply, we must release the seeds God has placed in our hands. And to do that, we must ask ourselves whether we are concerned more with building our kingdom or God’s. In Gaining By Losing, J.D. Greear unpacks ten plumb lines that you can use to reorient your church’s priorities around God’s mission to reach a lost world. The good news is that you don’t need to choose between gathering or sending. Effective churches can, and must, do both.

The Plumbline for Married Couples by Cecil S. Gaffney Pdf
Our natural conception and birth is a result of human cooperation and establishes the priority the Creator places on our dependency on others for success and personal progress. This work is evidence to this collaboration and substantiates the reality that we are a sum total of all the influences made to our lives by the people we have had the privilege to come across on the journey of life. I am deeply appreciative for the inspiration and wisdom of the men and women, both past and present, which, through their lives, instructions, corrections, challenges, commitment, and example, disturbed gifts within me I never knew existed.
In a highly polarized society, how are we to know which position on an issue reflects God's will? Christians commonly appeal to what the Bible says to determine God's will. "The Bible says!" They assume it must be God's will because the Bible says it. The Bible does teach us how to know God's will, but it points beyond itself to a way of thinking shaped by the Spirit--what the book of Colossians calls spiritual wisdom and understanding. We discern God's will by thinking theologically. Knowing God's will requires more than knowing what the Bible says. How to think theologically about what the Bible says is needed. God's character as reflected in Jesus of Nazareth is the key to thinking theologically. In our efforts to know God's will, we Christians must interpret what the Bible says in keeping with who Jesus revealed God to be. We must embrace understandings and positions that reflect the spirit of Jesus. This book presents seven markers, grounded in the character of God as revealed in Jesus, for understanding what the Bible says, so that our understanding reflects the love of God we see in Jesus. Borrowing an image from the prophet Amos, these seven markers make up God's Plumb Line. They outline a way of thinking theologically so that our hearts align with the heart of God and our minds with the mind of Christ.

"The Hebrew prophets were truth-tellers, called to proclaim God's word to the people of their own generations. In this book of sermons Alex Gondola is a truth-teller, carrying on the prophetic tradition by bringing the penetrating message of the Minor Prophets to bear on our twenty-first-century American context. Through the author's use of paraphrase, the telling of stories and his own pastoral interpretation, God's judging and redeeming word spoken by the prophets comes alive in these sermons and challenges us to be bearers of justice and righteousness in our own time and culture. I highly recommend this book of sermons for reading and reflection. "Rev. Dr. Steve Rettenmayer Faculty Member of the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies A student and teacher of the word for nearly four decades, Alex Gondola provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the minor prophets, reminding us of God's consistent commands of love, justice, and repentance. As Gondola uncovers the words of the minor prophets, he carefully shows us how to connect their prophetic ministries to our modern lives. "If God measured our home life against the plumb line of God's word, would God find us wanting -- wanting more of the acceptance, tolerance, and patience we are supposed to give?" This is the question Gondola comes back to again and again throughout his examination of the minor prophets, and as we travel back in time with him throughout this lectionary, we begin to understand that the words of the minor prophets hold profound influence toward shaping us as Christ-followers. "God's Plumb Line: Preaching from the Not-So-Minor-Prophets" is a portal filled with insight and challenge, reminding us to "drink so deeply at the well of worship that justice rolls down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Also included for each chapter are hymn suggestions, children's lesson suggestions, discussion questions, and an Annotated Bibliography. Alex A. Gondola Jr. served as an Associate Pastor, Pastor, and Senior Pastor in United Church of Christ congregations since 1975. He retired in 2011 and currently is Interim Pastor at the First Congregational Church (United Church of Christ) in Milford, New Hampshire. A graduate of Allegheny College (B.A.), Andover Newton Theological School (M.Div.), and Colgate Rochester Divinity School (D.Min.), Gondola also has studied at Hartford Seminary and The New College of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh (Scotland). He is the author of "Come As You Are," "Don't Forget The Child," "Holidays Are Holy Days," "Pray Like This..." (CSS), and numerous articles. He also contributed seven stewardship sermons to the CSS anthology "From Every Angle."
